Near Utterslev Bog stands a row of five 16-storey blocks. Beside them are several five- and nine-storey blocks, a shopping centre, schools and a church. These comprise Høje Gladsaxe, built in 1963-68 by architects Hoff & Windinge in cooperation with Jørgen Juul Møller & Kai Agertoft and Alex Poulsen. Høje Gladsaxe is a result of the industrialised building circular", which was introduced in 1960. To stimulate the construction business, the circular guaranteed a minimum production of industrialised buildings to the tune of 7,500 homes over four years, and that benefited Høje Gladsaxe, for one.
